🧡
Just want to thank Bitcoin Magazine for extending the Open Source Contributor Ticket Program to Bitcoin Amsterdam. Our contributors, as well as contributors to other select FOSS projects, are eligible for a GA ticket. More info at:
https://b.tc/conference/amsterdam/opensource
I know of no other conference with a comparable program to reward FOSS contributors, big credit to #[0] for this gift to the larger FOSS community.
Any solid non-bitcoin podcast recommendations?
Yes! I assume nostr:npub1l5pxvjzhw77h86tu0sml2gxg8jpwxch7fsj6d05n7vuqpq75v34syk4q0n will be offering them too -- a great option for European builders!
For those who don’t know, I have a small side hustle where I sell signers and other printed items to help fund my work with the SeedSigner project (see: https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/).
I’ve been tinkering with #[0] ’s OrangeClock b/c its an interesting concept that I think has a ton of potential (see: https://github.com/marc3linho/OrangeClock).
If anyone has an interest in building one and is in need of an enclosure for the internals, shoot me a DM. Just keep in mind that the project is still green and you’ll need some minor technical chops to get the firmware loaded. I’m refraining from the enclosures or kits to build the device to my online shop until the configuration process is a less less technical, but the code seems solid and I’ve had mine running for several weeks without a hitch.
It’s $30 for the printed enclosure w/ screws, that includes shipping within the US; $5 of the purchase price will go to Marcelinho & #[1] for the work they’re putting in to grow and develop this thing. Feel free to be in touch if you have any questions.

Something may be broken.
Have heard of at least one url blocker that won't let us through, if you happen to be on someone else's network... Looks like it's up for me?
This remix is killer.

LoL, that 16mb of flash memory is a tough hurdle to clear.
I also like nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Jade's stateless + QR mode.
Southern hospitality is indeed so wonderful.
I wanna level up my BTC security by going multi-sig and giving a bunch of keys (probably in the form of steel seedQRs) to my family members. My plan for getting comfortable with multisig is to use a single SeedSigner and have 3 private keys put onto a paper seedQR, and have xpubs (I’m aware that you need to safeguard all m xpubs) in some other form (also QR?). I’m going to test 2 or 3 multisig on testnet via Sparrow. While this will teach me the mechanisms of sending and receiving with multisig it might not be what I necessarily go with. To elaborate: I understand that not trusting a single manufacturer is recommended for your setup.
1. For my real life setup should I generate private keys + xpubs with other devices like Coldcard, Fountain Passport, etc?
2. Should I not have n (n of m multisig) keys generated from devices by the same manufacturer?
3. How does my learning approach sound?

I like the approach. Learn the basics, get comfortable, and then you can decide what hardware to include in your quorum. I personally would never let a device provide me with a key -- my preferred method is to select the seed words at random and then use a tool to calculate the final checksum word.
Getting better and better!
There were several fun entries posted on Twitter, but the winner ended up coming from someone here on Nostr...
Congratulations to nostr:npub1xr8tvnnnr9aqt9vv30vj4vreeq2mk38mlwe7khvhvmzjqlcghh6sr85uum who reminds us that Jay Powell is the most important "evil maid" to worry about when it comes to your savings being stolen. Thankfully bitcoin really does fix this.

Both cool and not cool at the same time. People with privacy concerns should probably consider multiple vendors at least place separate orders with some time in between.
?width=681&height=681...the real "evil maid" you have to worry about stealing your savings...
For everyone out there with mad mid-journey skillz, I've got 50k sats for the best private key stealing evil maid graphic art you can come up with; please keep it "safe-for-work". Best piece between both Twitter & Nostr takes takes the prize, winner chosen tomorrow morning. 
Really appreciate this, Matt has been a supporter of our project just about since the beginning. 🙏 nostr:note1klpjw887nfmdnj9ecpzu26n3afthfkqc9qckh97awym7auactwes8z8l3p
